Dear Wild Journeys, This is to thank you for a very gratifying experience in southern Africa. The entire journey was more than we anticipated, and we owe that to you and the planning you did to make our special requests possible. Our trip was intended to satisfy our desire to see wild southern Africa and to learn as much as possible about the customs and people of the region. We found your efforts to make those things possible and to keep us comfortable and well-fed supremely satisfying. Thank you so very much. And a special thanks for making our side trip to the school near Tjakastad so very fruitful. The highlight of the trip was Kruger Park and our Kruger guide. The number and variety of animals we saw was beyond expectation, and our guides efforts to inform us about animal behavior and numbers were most gratifying. He made reference books, field glasses, and optimal viewing sites available at every opportunity. He never pressed to move on until he was satisfied that we were satisfied. His efforts to make us comfortable and to use our time to best advantage paid off fantastically.

"We wanted to thank you and Wild Journeys for making our trip an enjoyable experience. We didn’t have to worry about any of the transportation or reservation details during our 16 day African safari and all of the updates we received at each location was much appreciated. We had a fantastic time in South Africa, it was a perfect choice for a honeymoon destination. We will have no hesitation at all in using Wild Journeys again for our next S.A trip; this time for an extended Safari. Thanks again. "

Allen & Jenn, Toronto, Canada

We write to you following our recent holiday in South Africa, to express our gratitude to Wild Journeys and our extremely knowledgeable and informative guide for making this an experience of a life time and one we shall not forget. As female travelers our concerns over personal security were completely dissipated whilst accompanied by our guide, and at no time did we feel this was compromised during our time in Kruger.

"For many years my partner and I had dreamt of visiting Africa, and in particular spending time on a game safari within Kruger. When I was sent to Cape Town for work the time seemed ideal. After weeks of searching tour operators and companies offering the ‘trip of a lifetime’, with us not knowing anything about any of them and if they really offered what they promised, my partner came across Wild Journeys. This was possibly the best web find we have come across. From day one the Wild Journeys team made our planning easy, gave great recommendations, blended with complete honestness and always taking into account our wishes. No detail was left out and our never ending enquiries always handled professionally and promptly. In the end Wild Journeys had listened to what we wanted and blended that into an organised safari covering Kruger, Sabi Sands, Cape Town and Camps Bay. They ensured every detail was organised to the finest degree including all transfers, accommodation, recommendations of where and when to visit and organised the day tours in Cape Town/Camps bay. The highlight of the tour must be Kruger and the Sabi Sands, where we saw the Big 5 time and time again, plus so many other animals, including the elusive and endangered Wild Dogs and Cheetah. Our guide and ranger at all times made sure we had the trip of a lifetime. Our Kruger guide is not only an expert guide, having a 6^th sense of where to find the animals but is a lifetime adventurer and long will we remember the nights where we sat, drinking a beer and hearing of his adventures throughout the African continent. His knowledge of the locations history, its flora and fauna is second to none as well as his absolute dedication to ensuring his guests have top class service. Upon waking our guide was there, coffee brewing, breakfast laid out, always with a smile. In short this company delivers above and beyond. If you are interested in taking a safari through Kruger, or adventuring further into Africa there is only one company to contact – Wild Journeys. As regular travellers we have been around the world and have seen amazing sights however this trip blew us away, due to the expert who showed us, therefore we are already planning our next visit and we will most definitely be doing it through Wild Journeys."

"Our journey to Africa turned out to be the adventure of a lifetime...it was just awesome, and beyond anything we could have imagined. From start to finish, every detail was planned and carried out in a very professional manner...there was not a single miscue. We had everything taken care of start to finish. This was a well balance trip covering Cape Town, Victoria Falls, and ending in the Kruger National Game Reserve. Boy, did we see game. Not just a animal here and there, but herds and herds of animals. It far exceeded our expectations. If you are planning to go to Africa, Wild Journeys is the only way to go."

Al & Jean, Albuquerque, NM
